    (a) Filing of the petition. Any interested party who files a 
petition with the administering authority pursuant to section 702(b) or 
section 732(b) of the Act in a case in which a Commission determination 
under title VII of the Act is required, shall file copies of the 
petition, including all exhibits, appendices, and attachments thereto, 
pursuant to Sec. 201.8 of this chapter, with the Secretary on the same 
day the petition is filed with the administering authority. If the 
petition complies with the provisions of Sec. 207.11, it shall be 
deemed to be properly filed on the date on which the requisite number of 
copies of the petition is received by the Secretary. The Secretary shall 
notify the administering authority of that date. Notwithstanding Sec. 
201.11 of this chapter, a petitioner need not file an entry of 
appearance in the investigation instituted upon the filing of its 
petition, which shall be deemed an entry of appearance.
    (b) Service of the petition. (1)(i) The Secretary shall promptly 
notify a petitioner when, before the establishment of a service list 
under Sec. 207.7(a)(4), he or she approves an application under Sec. 
207.7(a). When practicable, this notification shall be made by facsimile 
transmission. A copy of the petition including all business proprietary 
information shall then be served by petitioner on those approved 
applicants in accord with Sec. 207.3(b) within two (2) calendar days of 
the time notification is made by the Secretary.
    (ii) The petitioner shall serve persons enumerated on the list 
established by the Secretary pursuant to Sec. 207.7(a)(4) that have not 
been served pursuant to paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section within two 
(2) calendar days of the establishment of the Secretary's list.
    (2) A copy of the petition omitting business proprietary information 
shall be served by petitioner on those persons enumerated on the list 
established by the Secretary pursuant to Sec. 201.11(d)

of this chapter within two (2) calendar days of the establishment of the 
Secretary's list.
    (3) Service of the petition shall be attested by filing a 
certificate of service with the Commission.
    (c) Amendments and withdrawals; critical circumstances. (1) Any 
amendment or withdrawal of a petition shall be filed on the same day 
with both the Secretary and the administering authority, without regard 
to whether the requester seeks action only by one agency.
    (2) When not made in the petition, any allegations of critical 
circumstances under section 703 or section 733 of the Act shall be made 
in an amendment to the petition and shall be filed as early as possible. 
Critical circumstances allegations, whether made in the petition or in 
an amendment thereto, shall contain information reasonably available to 
petitioner concerning the factors enumerated in sections 705(b)(4)(A) 
and 735(b)(4)(A) of the Act.
